Alright, I received a job to fully customize a Sharepoint into a simple website, but all the information I found in google didn't helped and I don't know anybody who have worked with this, I have never seen those tags before, such as , so I need some infos about fully customization, is that possible? Where do I start from? I already installed the sharepoint 2010 and added the website but couldn't do anything.
Thanks anyway.

we have migrated a site from sharepoint 2010 to office365. I had a infopath form previously now the form in office365 is giving me a loading error.Can anyone help me thanks in advance
I wish there were more details about the errors, but try clearing cookies and see if it's related. Sometimes clearing cookies helps in similar situations on Office365
What is the error you are getting? I know our issue was in a SP List where we had a dropdown item that was still pointing to the old SP and a rule on form load to query this old SP List and wouldnt open. I had to create a Find and replace powershell command to overcome this. If this sounds the same as what you are finding let me know and I will respond with a detailed how to!
Thanks for response #Ray and #kwagenknight.I have take an old template from old site changed data connections to new site and republished the form again.Now it works.
I've been searching for information on how to do this but haven't found exactly what I'm looking for after a few hours on Google.
I have a form on a public website (old asp unfortunately) that when filled out and submitted, must update a list on a SharePoint 2010 site.
I know that the answer should be in a "lists.asmx" web service, but I'm having a hard time finding a web tutorial on setting this up.
If anyone has any advice it would be much appreciated.
I am trying to do something similar, and i found this blog post quite useful.

Take a look at the documentation for UpdateListItem
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/lists.lists.updatelistitems%28office.12%29.aspx
I followed the instructions here

After that when I preview my page, I can't see the hitcounter. I learned that it may be related to permissions of the site but I couldn't find how to do it.
Is it realy related to permissions ? If so what should I do to ? And any external solution (except this one: http://hitcounter.codeplex.com/) would help, the one in pharanthesis, I couldn't make it work.

I know next to nothing about SharePoint, so maybe this isn't something you can/should do, or maybe it's something completely trivial, I don't know, but we have a custom in-house help desk application at work, and I'm wondering if it can be integrated into our help desk SharePoint site somehow?
I really don't know what's possible with SharePoint, so any ideas or thoughts on this matter would be appreciated.
The short answer is yes but the amount of time required to make this work will be directly related to your flexibility / needs. Would you be satisfied with default SharePoint lists / forms? Do you need to retrieve and update data hosted in an external source? Do you really need this integrated with SharePoint or simply hosted under the same URL?
I've found that SharePoint can do anything but the time required to make it meet the needs of a demanding/inflexible business user is sometimes significant.
There is also the issue of doing right or simply making it work. Making it work buys you some time initially but you can easily dig yourself a very deep hole that is difficult to escape. My suggestion is to keep the solution as simple and maintainable as possible.
Pretty much anything that can go on a webform can go in a webpart - with obvious complications, but yes it would work. Look into webpart development.
I would try to stick to the features that SharePoint is already offering you. You can achieve a lot by using them, and enriching them with a few simple workflows.
If you want to add some workflow logic to your solution, then try to avoid the designer workflows, since they have some issues when it comes to deployment(in short: you cant). So even if it looks easier to design them in Designer, you will pay a price later when you want to deploy them to production (You have a staging/development enviroment?)
In general I would also agree with mayos answer
Anything is possible...but check out the MSDN reference for integrating with SharePoint:
Integration with Office SharePoint Server
How can I hand code a custom content type, and with all its fields.
If you know of a step by step guide.
My whole plan to extract a content type, and reuse it , has gone sour (no surprise there, after all we are dealing with MOSS).
I guess I would like to know how to do it completely by hand, so that NOTHING can go wrong.
Thanks ( please help before I get even more furious with sharepoint).
Apologies if I haven't already mentioned this before, but have you read the various "Getting started with SharePoint" questions on the site? These will give you good pointers and hopefully ease your frustrations:

In particular a good book like Inside Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 will help you a lot. It's clear and takes you through the basics very well.
